Just watching the last ep with Jakoby, dark Monks, Abbotts, some serious drama twists and martial arts happening at Into the Badlands...
any word on a second season?

WTF!
Donald Built his wall?

They were mining for plastic milk bottles out of a landfill.
If that was the American/Mexican border wall (Which I am calling Neil) then the Badlands history does not diverge from our real future-history until after the Republicans build that wall, and it's not all taking place in the Badlands National Park in South Dakota.

They've said since before the show started that this was after the fall of our modern society. While looking around the AMC site I found a world guide from Season 1 that specified that it was 500 years after.
^^^^WTF!

In Ireland no less (must've used the land from his Golf Course there)
I guess NRA members won't like this show. On the other hand they may point out that if everyone had guns the feudal society could be overthrown.
Imagine if Buck Rogers woke up and landed in this place? No Twiki, No Wilma Deering in those spandex jumpsuits? On the other hand that could be an interesting low-tech twist on that particular character and franchise. Shortly before the fall of civilisation and its descent into medievalism, NASA launches an Astronaut on a deep space mission who returns to Earth 500 years later to find it in a pre-industrial, feudal state, it could be interesting.
Sorry I'm getting off topic.

Oh, a ton of post-apocalyptic stories are about a return to pre-industrial ways of living. It's a common way for SF writers to avoid speculating about future technology by just reviving past technology. One prominent example is Planet of the Apes, although it's supposed to be a surprise that it's a post-apocalyptic Earth.
Well, I was talking specifically about a story a story where a person from either the modern day or a high tech future ends up in a primitive post apocalypse, but I realize now that the movie and live action PoTA TV series actually does fit that.
I can rattle off a bunch more primitive post apocalpyse stories without much effort, it's one of my favorite genres. I just can't think of any other stories with a person from a high tech present or near future ending up in that kind of world.

Well, there's Gene Roddenberry's '70s pilot movies Genesis II and Planet Earth (the loose basis for Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda decades later), although the post-apocalyptic society Dylan Hunt wakes up in is a mix of hundreds of isolated societies ranging from the primitive to the futuristic.
